ATU and Carglass welcome court ruling regarding access restrictions to vehicle data
ATU and Carglass welcome the decision of the Higher Regional Court of Cologne, which confirms the ruling of the Regional Court of Cologne that the access barriers imposed by vehicle manufacturers to vehicle data are illegal.
Success for Fairness and Equal Opportunities
The Higher Regional Court of Cologne dismissed Stellantis' appeal in favor of Carglass® and ATU in its ruling, declaring access restrictions to vehicle data by vehicle manufacturers illegal. This ruling supports the clear position of the European Court of Justice from October 5, 2023, and marks another success on the path to more fairness and equal opportunities in the European auto service market.
Vehicle manufacturers are increasingly hindering access to vehicle data required for repairs in the auto service market. Technical hurdles, such as the so-called "Secure Gateways," make access more difficult and cause additional costs. These barriers impair free competition, limit consumer choice, and can ultimately lead to higher prices.
Multiple Lawsuits Against Vehicle Manufacturers
Aside from the proceedings initiated by ATU and Carglass, there are now several lawsuits against other vehicle manufacturers following the European Court of Justice's ruling, in which similar access restriction devices have been prohibited as unlawful.
Carglass and ATU remain in dialogue with industry stakeholders and the European Commission to ensure that European legislation consistently guarantees unhindered access to vehicle data, thereby protecting free and fair competition in line with the jurisprudence.
Lars Heyne, Managing Director of Transformation at ATU, emphasizes: “Once again, a high court has affirmed the importance of unrestricted access to vehicle data, thereby supporting the business model of independent repair and service companies in the automotive industry. This ensures that ATU and other independent competitors will continue to be able to offer motorists affordable and reliable services related to vehicles in the future.”
*Following the landmark rulings of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) on October 5, 2023, and the Regional Court of Cologne on May 15, 2024
